lower angle, handheld, two CFL "daylight" bulbs provide extra lighting
The street light is positioned close to the cars.

Rendered with Bluerender (which at the moment renders trans elements a bit too darkly).

I think I got a bit carried away on the stickers with this one. Nonetheless, it came out completely differently to how I imagined. The engines were originally on side pods, but it made any cockpit I put in the middle look too small and imbalanced. So this vertical configuration happened instead.
top view of the last block of Micropolis is a nice residential tree-lined street, with the local school and few posh villas
from tomorrow I'll start uploading the whole MOC
you'll find the rest of Micropolis in this set
First one I built, as a result it was a bit meh first time around. I went back and rebuilt it last night, but it's still the least interesting one, in my opinion. I based the nose and cockpit design off my full-sized Octan racer from last year. I added wings and a different engine setup though, because the original racer was more designed like a powerboat than a spaceship.
LIttle microscale models for my London Map WIP. I am trying to keep them within a 4x6 stud base, and just extending a little if I need to.
I finally finished this last night in a spurt of building. I'm a little unsure of the top layer, but I'm not sure how to change it for the better.
In the beginning of space travel, the ranges of FTL travel were limited to the drives themselves. As time went on, drives became more advanced and ships began to rely more on fuel. Captains had to pack their cargo holds with fuel or find somewhere to stop and refill.
Out on the Galactic Rim (where a hold full of cargo is an explosive possibility) independently minded people have been quick to take advantage. Like the hermit crabs of old Earth, purveyors of these refuelling depots find a suitable rock, burrow inside, set up basic life support and open as a going concern.
Captains usually set themselves up in very densely populated asteroid belts and have the ability to shut down all beacons and power and become undetectable at a moment's notice. The threat of fuel pirates are an ever present one and depot captains often contract mercenaries for protection during times of local upheaval.
constructed using part 40607 Rubber Band / Belt Holder 6 x 3 x 3 which was considered to be unusable and not worth selling in a BL discussion. The ship is sandwiched around the holder and is stressed because of the 2 to 3 stud angle.
A 1:125 scale ship. It has a full interior as always. Though there is space for the bed and toilet I don't have the pieces for them. This is also why the ship is blue not grey.
The landing gear retracts though not very well. there is also a engine room added from the cross section of the ship. It is removable to access the lower cargo hold.
The lower hatch is also there but it is kept closed to keep the 3 stud wide part of the ship and the 4 stud wide part of the ship together.
